The beautiful flowers that Jaja and Grandma got for our sunroom. They smell wonderful!

Sawyer. He looks harmless enough, but he charges everyone all the time.

Well, we had a fun weekend. Mom went to a Wholehearted Mom's conference in Dallas with Mrs. Hastings and Mrs. Platt. She had so much fun! I've heard all about it. But she left early Friday morning. Dad and us 3 girls went to watch the Hardin-Jefferson Hawks, Silsbee Tigers basketball game Friday night with the Blanchards. It was so much fun! We lost (the Hawks) but it was fun to watch. Then on Saturday, Jaja made these incredible cinnamon rolls! I loved them! Then the vet came to give Cleo her shots. I went out about 40 minutes ahead of time to go halter her, and put her in the backyard to make it easier for the vet. I took the camera, snapped some shots, and then tried to halter Cleo. It didn't work. She wouldn't be caught. Eventually, whenever I went near her, she took of running. Literally. She galloped across the pasture. So I couldn't catch her to save my life. So then the vet came and she wasn't haltered. Erica had to come out with her wrapped leg, and lure Cleo with sweet feed, which I really didn't want to do, but oh well. So that was interesting. Then later, KK and I rode Cleo, and she was pretty good. It was fun. And right now, our computer is broken. It's got a virus. Jeremy Downs fixed it for us, but Dad has to finish it tonight. Mom's Apple never broke, though. Mom won't really let us use her computer, cause we mess it all up, so this is the first time I've been on the internet in a long time. It was great. And Pastor Raymond is doing sermons on Do Hard Things on Sunday nights, and he asked Erica on Saturday if she would go up on stage and answer a couple of questions. She did, and she did awesome!! :) I'm so proud of her.

Pictures of KK and the dogs

Kayla went out to play with Pixie

Philly

This is nothing. I just saw KK playing with Pixie and grabbed a picture. Grace and Philly saw me and I snapped them too. Erica and Mom are going to Houston tomorrow to check up on her leg, so please pray.

Happy Valentines's Day! Pics of the animals

Pixie is funny. In this pic, she randomly decided to plop down on the side of mountain.

Isn't she cute?

Philly!

Brutus, my sweetie boy

Cookie, the sweet goat. She's also the prettier one

Kayla was thrilled when she saw this! It's an F-650.

One of Pixie's favorite past times is chasing the turkeys.

Gracie is so sweet!

This is Pixie doing her classic head tilt.

This is the look Philly gives me when she wants me to pet her or wants something in my hand.

I messed up again. I tried to get the pics in the way I wanted it to, but it didn't. The Ford is in the middle of all the cute animal pics. And you may ask why we have a pic of it. KK loved it so much that we were on our way to church and saw it. She pulled out the camera, and didn't quite get any because it turned into the church down the street from ours. So KK convinces Hannah Mosley to drive her down there to get a picture. It was funny! And way fun. So about the pictures. I was on my way to put the dogs in the barn because it was going to rain and there is basically no place for them to stay dry in the backyard. But it wasn't raining yet, so I decided to walk around in the pasture with them for a while. Then I thought that I could get some cute pictures, so I got a camera and came back out. It was kind of hard to get pics because Sawyer was trying to charge me (lately he's gotten the idea that we're going to hurt him or his hens cause he's gotten mean) but I did get some. Pixie held him at bay for a little while, and she chased Brutus around, Philly was being silly, and Gracie was just running around being herself. Cleo, Tavi, and the Black weren't exactly posing for pictures. Erica and I are feeling under the weather, so nothing much has happened. Mom and Dad just got back from date day and night. They spent the night and day somewhere else. But that's all. Happy Valentines Day, everybody!!

Fun on Saturday

All 7 of us took a walk in our state park in Lumberton. It was pretty and very fun.

Erica caught me thinking. This was a favorite picture for everyone, or I wouldn't have put it up

I think Mom got tired. :)

We also brought along s'mores supplies for our picnic. It was good!

I liked this picture of Erica

Erica having a good time on Cleo. Cleo loves going fast.

Trying to get Cleo to turn

Cleo was silly and a little crazy when we rode her

Both girls in this pic enjoyed themselves very much

Grandma had a great idea on Saturday. Why don't we go to the park and walk for a while and have a picnic? So we pack up, and go to Village Creek Park. We hiked for a while, probably an hour and a half (or so it seemed to me). We found a little beach area place that I liked. The water was too cold to swim in, or we might have, who knows? So after we had had our fun time walking, we went to the van, got all our supplies, and lunch. Dad cooked hamburgers. Erica was too sore from her braces to eat them, though. Still is. But it's getting better. She says on one side in the very back she can chew. :) I think she should be just fine pretty soon. We ate, had s'mores, (is that how you spell s'mores??) and then we went home. It was really fun! Then later that afternoon, we rode Cleo. Mom came out with a camera, (after Erica had already started riding, which is why there is only one of her) and took some pictures, and we were probably out there for 45 minutes. Then the mosquitoes drove Mom inside. We stayed out and fed all the animals, bathed Cleo after her run, and then we all went inside for spaghetti. It was an awesome day!

The Modest Dress video

I totally just found the modest dress video! In case none of y'all got on Meagan's website. And remember, the guys are very honest and the Mom's are going to want to see this first!

Braces!

This is Erica without her braces...

And now with them!!

Erica got braces! We are so excited! She got her favorite color: green. She's still talking funny, but she'll get over that. Her teeth aren't hurting yet, but she couldn't really eat anything but a smoothie. Jaja and Grandma are here, too. They got here on Monday. I don't know why I didn't say that in the one last night. I guess I was too tired to remember. I'm really glad they're here! Jaja made me a hope chest for my 16th Birthday, and it's so beautiful! I love it!! I'll try to get a pic on here.

I figured out how to put vidoes on here!!

Okay, so I figured out how to put videos on here! I'm way excited! This is Brock Gill. He's pretty cool. If you figure out how he does this, tell me. So now I'm going to think of all the videos I like, and put them on here. Just kidding, but the ones I really like I'm going to. And I'm not joking about that. Today we went to the southeast texas symphony. I liked it a lot. And tomorrow Erica is getting her braces. I'll make sure to get a before and after picture for y'all. Ooooh! I thought of one. Hold on..... Well, it wouldn't work, but the website is www.youtube.com/meaganmchenry and on there is a video called modest dress. These are guys from our church and their opinion of modest and immodest dress. I liked it a lot, but it's not okay for younger kids. You moms might want to watch it first. And I thought of another video, so here goes.... Well, it won't work either. I'm just going to go to bed. Good night.
